OBJECTIVE: The objective of this experiment is to measure the parameters, namely the
threshold voltage, Vt and the process transconductance kn(W/L), and the output characteristics
(ID vs. VDS) of an N-channel enhancement MOSFET.

2. The value of threshold voltage that I input to the model is 1.8 volt.

3. The value of threshold voltage that I obtained from simulation is 1.823 volt.

4. The value of process transconductance that I input to the model is 100uA/V2.

5. The value of process transconductance that I obtained from simulation is

100.74 uA/V2.

6. The values of VDS_sat obtained my simulation,

VGG(V) VDS_sat (V)

3 1.0000
4 2.0082
5 3.0082

I was not able to calculate other value

7. Calculating the VDS_sat = VGS – VT
At 3V,

VDS_sat = (3-1.8)= 1.2 V

At 4V,

VDS_sat = (4-1.8)= 2.2 V

At 5V,

VDS_sat = (5-1.8)= 3.2 V

VDS_sat (from simulation) VDS_sat (from calculation)

1.0000 V 1.2 V

2.0082 V 2.2 V

3.0082 V 3.2 V

Comment: There is little bit difference between simulation and calculation values which
is avoidable.

At 3V,
2𝐼𝐷
gm= = (2×72×10-3)/(3-1.8) = 0.12 mA/V.

At 4V,
2𝐼𝐷
gm= = (2×242×10-3)/(4-1.8) = 0.22 mA/V.
(𝑉𝐺𝑆−𝑉𝑇)

At 5V,
2𝐼𝐷
gm= = (2×512×10-3)/(5-1.8) = 0.32 mA/V.

Discussion: From This Experiment we have learned about the Parameters and I-
V characteristics measurement of an N-channel MOSFET. Since this a crucial
situation for everyone ,so that we are performing this experiments via online
platforms. To do this experiments :
--- We need to be carefull while performing in the pspise window.
--- We have to take all the readings carefully.
--- We need to be carefull about the calculations.
